What are your thoughts on blink feed?

[bigrey81]

Honestly I like it you get to quickly skim through many stories and if you want to read further you go ahead and do it it's much more versatile then flipboard and also it's not in your way if you flip to another home screen the phone open and closes there it's a really nice touch in my opinion

I still think it was stupid for HTC to force this blinkfeed onto us by filling a home screen. It should be able to be removed. Period. BUT...in it's defense as an app, I find it useful. I'm now addicted to it. I now have blinkfeed and flipboard running (wifi only to update) at the same time so I'm reading and reading and getting jack shiot done around the house. Thanks.

The only reason i have it disabled right now is that there is either a lack of, or i havent found it yet, an option to edit the feeds to your own personal likings.

You can change the feeds.

You can change the feeds.

Well, that's true to a point, but you are limited to the items HTC chose to list. I would love to be able to list my RSS feeds, especially with Google Reader going away in a few months. Hopefully more options will be added in future updates.

I am liking this. But I feel there ought to be more options, like news from the medical world, Aviation so many more comes to mind.

I heard that HTC will be adding more sources in the future to add for news and information as well as making it more customizable

I kind of agree- but also disagree. If it was easily disabled, 95% wouldn't try it long enough to find it useful and addictive. And it is possible to get rid of it if you want with other launchers, so perhaps the way they did it was for the best.

How did you get the black screen? I have everything unchecked and get blue spaces.

I just unchecked all the things so i only have a black screen there which looks nicer

Sorry. I meant to use this post for the black screen question.

looks like you still have a feed enabled

I generally like it. I check it a few times per day. I like a form factor like Zite as a news interest aggregate, but BlinkFeed is pretty decent.

 

[Tower72]

Im liking it also..Didnt think I would but I use Pulse alot and this compliments it!

 

[MrXiqbal]

I love it. Perfect for my daily use

Count me as someone else who has been pleasantly surprised by Blinkfeed: I thought it would be shoved to the side and ignored, but I'm actually using it multiple times a day! I think what I like about it is that it has a smoother flow than flipboard and mixes in my personal calendar, tv recommendations, google now cards and other personal stuff along with all the articles. I'm also enjoying the way it blends it all together into a single feed rather than having to hop from one subject to another.

I'll definitely appreciate a few tweaks like additional and/or custom feed options, but overall I'm very happy with it. With all the competition out there for news/story viewers I'm quite impressed that HTC has made something this good.

I got rid if it and the sense launcher after a few hours. Cool feature but I ultimately have no use for it. Been using nova launcher and don't miss it at all.

It doesn't bother me because i unchecked everything and rarely do i even have to see it but its a bit like having flipboard forced on you!! I actually prefer flipboard to be honest although i would not use that much either!! Idealy it would be nice to have the option to turn blink feed off though

 

[sniffs]

I use it every day. I have my home screen set to the middle screen so the only time I see BF is when i scroll left.

I use it to it's fullest, for news, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.

I just picked up a second htc one let me tell yah blink feed is ok but the feature I like most is the front speakers it's so loud.i think they should let it be optional on blink feed atleast allow us remove it.

As much as I love and use blinkfeed, I do agree there should be an option to remove it.

 

[rootyourphones]

Im wondering should I unlock this bootloader now or wait for better roms to come out.
